Varun on box office clash
On Tuesday, Varun took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to interact with his fans and followers through a #Varunsays session. Both the films are slated to release on October 2.
During the conversation, one of his fans asked him about the box office clash, writing, “Kantara se darr nhi lagra? (Are you scared of Kantara) #varunsays.”
To which, Varun responded, “Release date toh production wale set karte hain. Par hum buss apni film pe mehnant kar rahe hain aur logo ko Hassane ki koshish. (Release dates are set by the production team. But we’re just focusing on working hard on our film and trying to make people laugh.) I wish Oct 2nd everyone is laughing and smiling and celebrating.”
On the other hand, Varun also spoke about the failure of his film Baby John, which also featured Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi. A remake of the Tamil film Theri, Baby John narrated the story of a cop who goes into hiding to bring up his daughter in a safe environment.
When a social media user asked whether Baby John was his first flop, Varun shared, “Hain yaar nahi chali yaar sab ne bahut mehnat ki isilya #ssktk ki script totally nayi hain hopefully app sabko maaza aayegaa Oct 2nd ko (Yes, it didn’t work. We worked very hard on that film. That’s why I have picked a very fresh script of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. I am hoping everyone enjoys the film on October 2).”
